Chapter 1381 A false alarm?

At the north camp of Xiangyang City, Murong Fu rushed over in a hurry. Lingxiao Pavilion disciples and several Tianshu Army generals were training the new army. They searched the entire camp but could not find Huang Rong. Murong Fu grabbed a Beggar Gang disciple and came over. After questioning, he

As you know, Huang Rong has never been to Beida Camp, and the selection of garrison troops is entirely left to Lu Youjiao.

"So... Ronger disappeared yesterday?" Murong Fu's heart sank to the bottom, Huang Laoxie was unconscious, Guo Jing was nowhere to be seen, and no one knew Huang Rong's whereabouts.

Murong Fu quickly returned to the General's Mansion. Wang Yuyan was in the process of assigning men. When he came back, she immediately said, "Cousin, Daxia Guo has led his troops out of the city."

"Leave the city?" Murong Fu was stunned, "What are you doing out of the city?"

Wang Yuyan shook her head, "I don't know yet..."

Halfway through the conversation, a Lingxiao Pavilion disciple hurried over and saw that Murong Fu was there. He bowed to him first and then said to Wang Yuyan, "Miss Wang, Guo Jing has returned to the city."

"Where?" Murong Fu asked first.

"In South Daying."

"Why is he going out of the city? Is he going with Gang Leader Huang? Is Gang Leader Huang in danger?" Murong Fu asked three questions in a row in a hurry.

The disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion replied, "I didn't see Gang Leader Huang. He was accompanied by Quanzhen Sect leader Qiu Chuji, Quanzhen Sect elder Wang Chuyi, and Shaolin leader Kong Wen. These people were all injured. See

It seems that Guo Jing rescued them."

Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that Qiu Chuji and others were in danger and Guo Jing rushed to the rescue after receiving the news?

Seeing Huang Rong being so nervous, Wang Yuyan felt a little sour in her heart, "Cousin, let's go over and take a look and we'll find out. If you have anything, you can ask Daxia Guo in person."

Murong Fu nodded silently, and the two set off with all their strength, and soon arrived at the South Camp.

The camp was noisy. Some people were drinking, some were sharpening knives, and many people gathered outside a barracks in the middle. This barracks was used as a place for many martial arts colleagues to discuss important matters, and was equivalent to a meeting hall.

At this time, the people gathered outside the meeting hall were whispering and discussing in low voices.

"Even Headmaster Qiu was injured. It seems that Mr. Murong's money is not so easy to earn."

"There is no money in the world that is easy to earn. Otherwise, everyone would be a rich man, and who would still be living in the world?"

"That's true. Money moves people's hearts. Master Murong spreads a lot of money, and there are many people who risk their lives."

"What you said is biased. Although fellow martial artists like money, defending the city against the enemy is the most important thing. Even if there is no money, we should kill all these stupid Tatars at all costs."



The arrival of Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan did not alarm anyone. The two shadows passed through the crowd silently and went straight into the barracks.

In the camp, Guo Jing and several Beggar Gang elders were bandaging the wounded. The injured were Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Kong Wen, etc., as well as Song Yuanqiao. These people were all hit by arrows, but other than that, they had no other injuries.

.

Murong Fu couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene. These people were all experts, how could they be so seriously injured?

After thinking for a while, he coughed dryly and asked, "What happened to you guys? Could it be that you were ambushed?"

Only then did everyone notice that Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan had entered the camp at some unknown time. Qiu Chuji smiled bitterly, "Mr. Murong's guess was good. We were indeed ambushed..."

It turns out that there has been a wave of assassinations in Xiangyang City in the past two days. Naturally, several leaders were not willing to be left behind. After discussing in private, they decided to go out of the city to do something big. They targeted a captain of ten thousand men of the Mongolian army and sneaked out of the city today.

They sneaked into the Mongolian camp while the army was having lunch. As a result, they were on alert because of the previous assassination incident, and seven or eight of their group of masters happened to run into their arms.

In the end, if Guo Jing had not come out of the city to rescue him, these seven or eight people would have been wiped out.

After learning the whole story, Murong Fu felt quite dumbfounded. At the same time, he also had doubts about his own judgment. Could it be that the reason why Guo Jing abandoned his father-in-law and left in a hurry was really to save these people?

This is not impossible. Most of these people are leaders of the same faction. Once the entire army is wiped out, the blow to the heroes of Xiangyang will be unprecedented. With Guo Jing's character, it is reasonable to do such a thing.

But no matter what, Huang Rong was indeed missing. Murong Fu waited for Guo Jing to take care of everyone's injuries, then pulled him aside and whispered, "Master Guo, where is your wife now?"

Guo Jing's reaction was a bit strange after hearing this. He was startled at first, then hesitated, and finally said in shock, "Isn't Zhuo Jing in the General's Mansion?"

It is not difficult for anyone to see that he is lying.

Murong Fu's face darkened, "Master Guo, I have an extremely important matter to discuss with Commander Huang. If you know anything, please let me know."

Guo Jing smiled unnaturally, "Since Zhuo Jing moved out of Guo Mansion, Guo..."

Before he finished speaking, Murong Fuhu waved his hand and interrupted, "Guo Daxia, I don't say secret words in front of people, and I won't hide it from you. Now a batch of grain and grass is about to be transported into the city. This batch of grain and grass is related to the survival of Xiangyang City.

We need a long-term plan, and I hope you can tell the truth, otherwise if it delays the military situation, don't blame me for being rude, and you don't want to harm Xiangyang City."

"A batch of grain and grass has entered the city..." Guo Jing murmured, his expression seemed to be confused or hesitant. After a moment of silence, a trace of determination flashed on his face, "Mr. Murong, it is not that Guo meant to deceive, it was Zhuo Jing's intention.

"

"What, what does Gang Leader Huang mean?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, apparently not understanding what he meant.

Guo Jing nodded and said, "Yes, it was Zhuo Jing who told me not to tell anyone her whereabouts, including you, the young master."

"Why is this?" Murong Fu asked blurtly, but actually he had some vague guesses in his mind.

Guo Jing just shook his head, "Guo doesn't know either."

Murong Fu's face changed slightly, "Can you tell me what she went to do? Xiangyang City is currently in turbulent conditions, and Gang Leader Huang, as a think tank in the city, may encounter danger at any time."

Guo Jing smiled bitterly, "She only said that she wanted to find a quiet place to relax for a while, but don't worry, sir, she has not left Xiangyang City."

"Looking for a pure place..." A strange look flashed in Murong Fu's eyes and he remained silent. If Huang Rong was in a strange mood and wanted to find a place to hide because of the adultery incident that was discovered by Cheng Jiayao that day, she reluctantly

It makes sense, but even if she wanted to be an ostrich, it was impossible for her not to show up when Huang Laoxie was injured in such a serious matter?

After thinking for a while, he asked seriously again, "Is Gang Leader Huang really in a safe place?"

Guo Jing looked at him seriously, with nothing strange on his face, "Mr. Murong, don't worry, that place is very safe. Speaking of which, she is indeed very tired. She has not had a good day since she came to Xiangyang City. Although the situation is critical now

, but I wouldn’t blame her if she wanted to take a break.”

Murong Fu couldn't help but look a little strange when he heard this. This is a matter between you and your husband. Why are you telling me this? Thinking of what Guo Jing just said, his heart skipped a beat. Huang Rong wouldn't confess to him, right? But then he thought about it.

, in order to conceal this secret, she even said she would kill Cheng Jiayao to silence her, so how could she take the initiative to confess to Guo Jing.

He tried to ask, "Why did Gang Leader Huang specifically tell me not to let me know? Could it be that she has some objections to me?"

"Mr. Murong is worried too much. Although Zhuo Jing has a perverse temperament, she is not an unreasonable person. He is devoted to the country and has devoted everything he has to defending the enemy in the city. How could she have any objection to him?" Guo Jing said politely.

"Really?" Murong Fu still had doubts on his face, but he couldn't say anything to refute. Moreover, Guo Jing's feelings for Huang Rong were many times deeper than his. If Huang Rong was really in any danger, he would be even more anxious than himself.

That's right, there is really no reason to lie and not report it.

On the contrary, if he acted too nervous, it would be unreasonable, and it would probably arouse Guo Jing's suspicion, so he said lightly, "Thank you, Master Guo. I'm really afraid that I might offend him if I don't do something well."

Gang Leader Huang, so much so that she wants to avoid me."

"Young Master, what you said is serious. Zhuo Jing is not a person who doesn't know right and wrong. How can she get into trouble with the Young Master?" Guo Jing laughed and then changed the subject, "By the way, the Young Master just said that a batch of grain and grass is about to enter the city. I don't know how much the grain and grass are. Where is it now?"

What? We have to take a long-term approach to ensure that this batch of food and grass enters the city safely."

Now that Huang Rong's safety was confirmed, Murong Fu had no intention of exploring too much. At best, he could send a few people to secretly investigate where Huang Rong was hiding. Right now, business was more important, so he said, "This batch of food and grass belongs to me."

The Murong family started raising money a few months ago. I can’t tell you the specific amount, but it can at least sustain Xiangyang City for three months.”

"So much!" Guo Jing was greatly surprised, and then he was overjoyed, "With this batch of food and grass, Xiangyang City will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

Murong Fu secretly rolled his eyes. The Murong family secretly built dozens of large granaries all over the south of the Yangtze River, and secretly unified the southwestern martial arts world. Mere grain and grass were nothing at all. He had no less than three or four ways to get them. What really made him

What he cares about is that this time, along with the grain and grass, there is also a large amount of ordnance.

If you want to completely take Xiangyang City into your hands and defend it, it is impossible without enough ordnance. Xiangyang City does have an ordnance station, but once the city is besieged, there will be no source of materials, and the supply will simply exceed the demand. That's why Murong Fu spread the news.

Xin asked Yanziwu to drop a batch of ordnance over.

As long as there is sufficient food and grass and no shortage of ordnance, it will not be a problem to defend Xiangyang City for a year and a half.

After Guo Jing was happy for a while, he immediately calmed down and said, "It would be difficult to transport so much grain and grass into the city. Dayuan will definitely not sit idly by and their grain and grass will not last long.

"

Murong Fu rolled his eyes at him, what do you think? Looking around, Qiu Chuji and others happened to be there, and he simply said, "I also want to discuss this matter with everyone, and everyone happens to be here, so let's discuss it together

Let’s total it up.”
